1. Ash's Story (Part 7: Kalos)

Chapter 46

When we meet up with Sawyer again, we have a battle. And when it is Sceptile against Greninja, we have a heated battle. And it is then my Alain self arrives, and he also notices the battle.

"Greninja, can you still battle? There's no doubt we can win this thing!" I say and it is also then Greninja transforms once more.

"Hey, what's going on here?" Sawyer is shocked. He tries to finish with Sceptile, but I have Greninja use Aerial Ace, and it defeats Sceptile in the end.

"I still won anyway..." I sigh, and Serena also seems tired. Elline asks, "Serena... are you okay as well?"

"Yeah... though I feel wiped out even though it is Ash that does the battle..."

"So Ash, you've gotta tell me what just happened!" Sawyer says, "How did you do whatever you did?"

"I don't really know what I did, Sawyer." I say. "Stuff just flashes in front of my eyes when I get like that..."

After treating our Pokemon in the Pokemon Center, I also noticed my Alain self nearby. After what happened, maybe we should do the aura link so that I can know what he's doing and he can know what I'm doing...

Sawyer says, "Hey, Ash, your Greninja looks different in battle. And it was all wrapped up in water. So please, tell me how the two of you did that."

"I really don't have a clue." I say.

"Actually none of us have a clue." Serena says.

"It just happens." Bonnie adds.

"That's true." David says. "Well so far it only happens a few time."

"That's strange. The way that they move together like that, it's as if they'd become one."

"It was just like that when it happened before..." Serena says. "I mean... it's like all the things Greninja is seeing and doing, Ash and I are seeing and doing at the exact same time. I don't know if Lillie and Alice feel it as well..."

"I don't know. Maybe we turn into Greninja?" I ask.

"They say when the bond between trainer and Pokemon gets stronger, they start to look alike. So maybe that might explain whatever's happening to them since the bond between Ash, Serena, and Greninja have gotten so powerful." Sawyer says.

After bidding farewell to Sawyer, we decide to take another night, the next morning, everyone hears a roar and decides to check out what's going on, and it turns out that Alain is training Charizard.

"It's Alain." Serena says.

I step forward and say, "Alain. It's been a while."

Alain nods and our Pokemon greet Charizard, I say, "Is that the Charizardite X?"

"Yes, everything is going as planned." Alain says to me. "Care to see? How about a battle between Charizard and Greninja? I saw the battle yesterday, I'd like to see more of that."

I say, "I also have something I need to discuss with you. That'd be great."

As we prepare, Elline says, "So basically you're fighting yourself..."

"But Charizard probably has gone stronger ever since I split myself." I say. "It has been a while since I want to see his strength."

Serena says, "If that's the case, Charla should watch it as well."

When Charla is out, she is happy to greet Charizard, and those two share a hug. Then it's time for the battle.

As the battle begins, I start off by commanding Greninja to use Water Shuriken, but it is quickly countered by Charizard's Dragon Claw. I then order it to use Cut, but Charizard speedily dodges before being ordered to use Flamethrower, dealing a lot of damage to a vulnerable Greninja.
